Axel Kulle

Henrik Axel Kulle (22 March 1846 – 27 February 1908) was a Swedish painter who specialized in genre scenes.

In 1875, he left home for Düsseldorf, where he studied with Swedish-German genre painter Ferdinand Fagerlin.

He remained there for three years, painting en plein aire and developing a brighter color scheme.

When he returned to Sweden, he continued to paint genre scenes, but also created portraits and still-lifes.

The artist, Rikard Lindström, one of his last students, recalled him in his old age as a man who always dressed very formally and said as little as possible.
